I had been working out regularly before I got pregnant (3-5 days a week)and was “benched” by my doctor for the first trimester. So picking this up at 16 weeks made for a pretty intense workout. (Read: holy crap!) Might have been less so without the 3 month hiatus, but this workout felt like starting over.
This is my forth pregnancy and having come from a pilates/yoga only practice through my last two, I can say this is a thorough, make-you-sweat workout. I would say it is the pre-natal equivilant of the hardest class I took at the gym. This is in keeping with Teddi’s philosophy that women want to feel as much like
“themselves” as possible during a period when so many things are changing.
While this is still too long of a workout for me (6 or 7 circuits, I think) I plan to alternate the first half and second half during the week. It’s also easy to just go as far as you can into it and work up to adding another circuit every week or so.
The icing on the cake is the stretching/abs work segment which fills my void for a yoga class: the music is soothing and still maintains a beat, Teddi is a calming influence and I often find I’m doing the work with my eyes closed. Looking forward to Teddi kicking my not-so-widened rear post-partum, too!

This is a great prenatal workout, especially if you were exercising a lot before pregnancy. I find this DVD is more of a challenge than most other prenatal DVDs. I feel like I actually worked out afterwards!

This is a great program for pregnant women. It is very comprehensive and provides modifications as you move through various months of your pregnancy. I wouldn’t recommend this for those new to exercise. It is intense and you need to be in good shape to tolerate the program safely. The entire program is quite long, but there is a shorter version also offered on the DVD which is nice for when you do not have 90 minutes to exercise.

Finally, an excellent but tough prenatal workout! I have been working out for years but my muscles were acutally sore after finishing this dvd for the first time! I would not recommend this to women who have never worked out before. It really got my heart pumping! I’m definately buying Teddi’s postnatal workout to get me back to pre-baby shape.

This video is one of the best workout DVDs I’ve tried since the start of my pregnancy (17 weeks). The full video (there is an option to shorten it on extra busy days) is 90 minutes of conditioning, cardio and relaxing stretches. There are different circuits that work on all the major muscle groups (glutes, thighs, shoulders, triceps, biceps, back). There are lower back focused exercises, abdominal breathing techniques, and a lovely and long stretch at the end of the video.
Teddi (the trainer) has a soft and sweet voice but she is able to motivate you to push you through the workout. The three models used in the video are each in a different trimester so you can see the modifications that each one makes to make themselves more comfortable while still getting a great workout.
I’d highly recommend this video to any woman at any stage of pregnancy. I’ll definitley be buying the postnatal workout once the baby comes!
